I've used this product for years, used many others ,others have do's & don'ts. this stuff works fast without all the do's & don'ts, a capful for 55gal tank ,2 drops for a gal,waiting was the past. Use this stuff folks , all your worries are over,cant mess it up.just go for it! I recommend buying the small bottle & the large bottle to fill the small bottle , Just wish itdid something for the PH.

Great Conditioner

This is the best water conditioner out on the market in my opinion. It does a great job of reducing ammonia and is also good for cycling your new tank as well. Safe and effective.

Great Supplement while cycling a new tank

Combine this with stability and "new tank syndrome" is hardly an issue.It is also a long lasting, great working water conditioner, making it easy to make your tap water safe when doing water changes.They also have a great support team that will answer you via email within a day or two.

I have used Seachem prime for years in my saltwater tank. It is very good at removing Ammonia from your tank. I little goes a long way. It smells a bit like sulfur but otherwise I like it and recommend it as a good product.

Miracle Ammo Cure

PostedFebruary 3, 2013

rspoe

from Des Moines, IA

As far as I'm concerned this stuff is a miracle worker. I've been battling ammonia for the past two months in my freshwater tank. My fish were eating fine and showed no sign of sickness but anytime I tested the water, it'd show up off the charts. I tried other treatments and conditioners, water changes, pretty much everything but it would always test high. One capful of this stuff and it took it brought the ammonia back to measurable levels, one more capful and it's to 0 ppm 3 days later. Absolutely amazing, very potent, and couldn't be happier.

The ONLY one I will buy.

OrandaMom

from Allendale, MI

This stuff was recommended to me by just about every goldfish-keeping forum I went on. Goldfish are very messy critters, and therefore create a ton of ammonia. This stuff is extremely difficult to overdose, and it is the best stuff to use if you have messy fish. It's saved my fish from nitrite poisoning and ammonia poisoning in the past and will definitely be in my cupboard for a very very long time to come.

Best bang for the buck!

This stuff goes a long way compared to other products due to its concentration. I have been using it for years now and have healthy, happy fish.

Saved My Fish!

PostedSeptember 23, 2012

YESMOMILIKEFISH

from NE US

I have used a few different conditioners for the aquarium, but it was not until I found Seachem Prim that I was really impressed. When the ammonia or nitrites get too high, Prime keeps them at bay making the water better for the fish, yet it does not disturb the biological filter! I had to use Prime when my tank had not quite finished cycling yet and it immediately put the water in balance and my biological filter kicked in as if nothing had interrupted it at all. It works instantly and although it has a bit of a sulfur smell it works so well, I don't mind.

I have had fish lost during such a spike in my tanks before and this time I didn't lose a single one. I have been using Prime ever since with great results in four tanks. I highly recommend it.

Saved many a fish's life

PostedMarch 15, 2012

Lambobble

Prime is unbelievable stuff. I am no scientist, but from my own experience, and reading various forums around the web, Prime does an excellent job of:

-Removing chlorine and chloramines-Detoxifying nitrite and ammonia-Helping to build the slime coat of fish

First off, it is ultra-concentrated. You measure it by the DROP as opposed to the teaspoon/lidful. It does smell sulfuric sometimes, but that is normal.

I used Prime to successfully save a tank full of African Cichlids when their tank was accidentally put into New Tank Syndrome from a well-meaning owner who removed all the plants, decorations, and rocks, scrubbed them in tap water, and changed the filter, all in one sitting. Whoops. The owner accidentally removed ALL the beneficial bacteria from the tank doing this, putting the tank into an ammonia and nitrite spiral. Adding Prime everyday, along with daily water changes, detoxified the ammonia and nitrite, helped the tank cycle, and saved the life of about 10 beautiful African cichlids!

Very good, but smelly!

This is a great product. At only 2 drops/ gallon, it is also cost effective.

Can be a little smelly, similar to sulfur. Totally worth it!

I was using a different product before prime and it was not getting the job done. After reading so many good reviews i decided to buy it and it was the best decision since the setup of my aquarium. It took 2 weeks to work because my aquarium was in very bad condition but now is the only stuff i use and everything is in great condition. Your fish will thank you, switch today!!
